New YORK, April 30.-May is a day of
unusual commotion in New York SO many
homes are exchanged through the real estate
offices that without a new directory one
would lose track of his friends. Many ro-
mances Turk in these real estate Offices The
peculiar transactions that occasionally find
their way to the light through the courts
affords glimpse OF the methods sometimes
employed The crankiness and double
dealing OF rich men and the extraordinary
schemes of lawyers are often illustrated by
the subsequent exposures.
The old building on the north corner Of
Broadway and Fulton streets has probably
more owners than any other building in New
York. The owners run up into the hun
dreds, and some own as little as a thous-
andth part. 1t was part of the estate of
Peter Lorillard the elder, and when he died
he charged his real estate with the payment
of certain annuities. This was many wears
ago, and as the annuities died. only enough
OF the real estate was continued under the
trust to pay those who survived Thus
piece after piece was released until
the Fulton street building is now the only
one left under the trust In the mean

Not So Wonderful After All.

The question often asked us: You claim to
sell cheaper and to give better Clothing for
the money than other dealers; how do you
do it? We answer: The Famous manufac.
lures all the Clothing they sell, selling direct
to the consumer at saving of t,Centy-hue
per cent. The Famous has no expensive
establishment, but plain, presentable house
to do business in, at saving Of ten per cent.
more The Famous is very choice in whom
they credit their Clothing to, consequently
save the expense of bookkeeper and col
lector, at saving of ten per cent. The
Famous New York Clothing House. JAG
Congress street, has this spring the prettiest
line of Suitings in all shades and colors.
The low prices viii astonish any one.

AN EXPLORER FROM FRANCE.
Looking Into the manufactures of This
Country

Looking INTO the sManufactOrl6S OF This
Country.
New YORK, April So have had an in.
teresting interview with a French mechani
clan, Victor Delahay, who has just arrived
in this country upon special mission in be
half of his government. He has been sent
here by the Minister of the Interior, Lock
roy, TO examine the iron works that con
struct the machinery used in textile manu-.
features, with q view TO the introduction Of
similar establishments in France upon De
culiar system. The French government pro
poses to erect these works itself. with funds
drawn from the public treasury, and deliver
them over 60 the Society of Mechanicians,
which shall run them ON its own account
and derive such advantages as may accrue
from them. If the report given by
the official agent now in this country is
favorable. the Minister will secure
an appropriation of 6,000, 900 francs for the
prosecution of the scheme, and thus an OK
tcnsiVe industry viii be introduced into
France under circumstances calculated to
promote its development. Nearly all the
machinery now used there in the textile
manufactures is purchased i'll Belgium and
England, but it is believed that there are i'll
ventions IN use in this country which enable
our iron works to turn out machinery far
ttl W iiltll llAVlultu lIOill DelGlulll or
England, and it Is to examine tho facts of
the case that Mr. Delahay has been sent on
his mission. There are many Americans
who will ridicue the idea OF the govern
ment assuming the direction OF such an in.
dustrial project and putting it in
the hands of the skilled work
men; but il must be remembered
that the French government undertakes
many functions which arc regarded as be-
You'd the province of ours, and that French
worllnen have within late years been max
ing imperative demands upon the State TO
extend its operations in the industrial line
The present Minister of the Interior favors
these demands in a greater measure than
any OF his predecessors has yet done. Beside
the undertaking here referred to, he will as
soon as practicable, procure an appropria-
ton for the establishment of a vast Labor
Exchange in Paris, for the service of all
the industries and all the workers of France:
and il is expected that this will be complet-
cd before the great Exposition in 1889.
We hear great deal by cable about the
alarms OF war in France, and the never
ending preparations for hoStilities; but the
important facts here given, which are but a
few Of those communicated TO me by Mr.
Delahay, show that the French government
is not wholly absorbed with the belligerent
news, but is also striving 30 handle, in a
large way, the menacng question of indus
try and social order. All this is in accord
with the versatile genius of the irrepressible
French race. AouN SwINToN.

IN MEMORIANI.

GREENE.-On Monday, the 25th day of
April, 1881 the spirit Of ROBERT MCCLELLAND,
only son of Captain and Mrs. B: D. Greene,
gained entrance into That Heavenly rest pre-
pared by a loving father for such as are of the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Despite his tender wears there had been de-
veloped in him rare mind of phenomenal
brightness and strength and heart trimming
over with love for humanity. Although he had
seen little of life, that little sufficed 20 show him
that life was earnest and the world filled with
suffering, and he had already devoted himself to
the work of ministeIfug to the unfortunate
wherever they might be found No cry for help
ever failed to reach the strained to listen for
it: no hand stretched out ever missed his help
ing grasp Heir to name and fortune, he loved
to ponder over the broad work he would
do for suffering humanity, and with childhood's
tints upon his fair, fresh face he loved to dwell
upon the good that, please God. he might do in
his manhood for those who were weary and
faint by the wayside. But God willed it other
wise, and the devoted father and fond mother,
crushed under this heavy blow must hold him
IN sacred memory as one who, pure and unde-
filed, passed from darkness into light"
Gifted and refined, his unselfish courteous
consideration of others drew closely to Robin all
who were associated with him, whether of high
or low degree Tender sympathies go out from
this community to the bereayed parents to the
absent relatives and friends who mourn in their
desClGtiOn over a loss irreparable.
The mothers pathetic cry, Where is Robin,
he never left me before; where do his little
feet wander, out in this cruel storm all alone
tO-nght:' Will find full answer in the lines
below:
what can do for thee. beloved,
Whose feet little while ago
Trod the same wayside dust with mine,
And now up paths do not know
Speed without sound or sign?
what can do? The perfect life,
All fresh and fair and beautiful,
Has opened its wide arms to thee;
Thy cup is er-brimmed and full
Nothing remains for me,
Il used to do so many things:
Love thee, and chide thee, and caress;
Brush little strawS from off thy way,
Temperlng with my poor tenderness
The heat of thy short day.
Not much, but very sweet to give;
And il is grief of griefs to bear
That all these ministries are DER,
And thou, so happy elsewhere,
DOst need me nevernore.
''Yet. when the days work ends with day,
And stareyed evening stealing in
Waves her cool hand to flying morn,
And restless surging thoughts begin,
Like sad bells out of tune,
''Tll pray. dear Lord to whose great love
Nor bound, nor limit-line is set,
Give 10 my darling, ] implore,
Some new, sweet joy not tasted yet,
For | can give no more.
And with the words my thoughts shall climb
With following feet the heavenly stair,
Up which thy feet so lately sped,
And, seeing thee so happy there,
Come back half comforted!' F. W.

II would be difficult to discover an en-
ploye in New York outside of the big COM
mercial houses who win not accept tip of
one sort or another Twenty years ago the
free-born American citizen, whether he was
awaiter, barber or cabman, considered him
self as good q man as his patron, and refused
TO look for small brides and gratuities. 1t
was the time when the barber talked as
Familiarity 60 his customers as he did to his
mate, and the cabman regarded himself rs
part and parcel of any racket or royster
that happened to be going ON. When the
broker stopped his cab TO go i'll and get a
drink, the driver was invited to go in with
him, and all men were one. But the prac-
Ffre of tipping drew a sharp line. No man
tips his equal, and hence the barber, the
cabInan, the porter elevator boy, waiter,
clerk, small salesman, baggage conductor,
messenger and every other functionary who
can in any way render q service to
another is looked upon as a fit object for
charity. II has got TO pretty advanced
